Sounders 2 to hold open tryouts in Las Vegas

Sounders 2, the club’s new USL-Pro affiliate, will hold an open tryout on December 13 and 14 at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, the club announced Friday, with at least player from the tryout guaranteed a trial with S2.

“With this tryout our aim is to attract a wide range of players and fill the S2 roster with the best possible talent,” S2 general manager Andrew Opatkiewicz said. “It’s a great way for us to expand our reach outside of the Northwest, as well as an incredible opportunity for new players to earn a spot within this organization.”

Tryouts will take place at Peter Johann Soccer Field on the northwest end of UNLV campus and are open to male soccer players ages 18 and older. Check-in and registration are set to begin at 4:00 p.m. PST on Saturday, December 13 with games starting at 5:00 pm. Select participants will be chosen to compete in a full-sided game on Sunday, December 14 at 11:00 a.m. PST.

The registration cost for each player is $150. Registration will close on December 11 at 5:00 p.m. PST. Space is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
